Sounds Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant that this $900 soundbar would really pack a punch. It does an amazing job and since I bought it with my 900f I got it for cheaper. The atmos and digital surround is really cool stuff.
